Volleyball

Oct. 22

The volleyball season was a success and finished with a Teacher/Student volleyball game last Wednesday. The Teachers are proud to have won the competitive game against the students. They did have the help of a “ringer” parent to lead the Teacher team onto victory, but the teachers prefer to just focus on the win! Great job teachers, well played!
